Chapter 108 Rumors about the Swordsman(1/2)
Chapter 108 Rumors of the Swordsman
A street stall, two bowls of mutton soup cakes with meat, two people sitting across from each other.
The Taoist brought a bowl and placed it on the bench next to him. A calico cat squatted here.
"call……"
Wu Nuxia said to him while sipping the soup cake: "Although our Xishan sect is in Yizhou, it is still a big sect in Jianghu, and it still has some connections in Changjing. When I first came here, I left the place where my master was when he was young.
As a good friend, I worked as a escort at the Yongning Escort Bureau, but it was also a hard job. I felt there was no future. I worked for about a year. Last summer and autumn, I met a noble man by chance, and now I help that noble man. I wonder
It’s time to become a successful person.”
"Don't you have any old friends in Changjing?"
"That was my master's old friend, and I didn't know him before. But he was quite loyal and helped me a lot. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been able to stand firm in Changjing at the beginning, and maybe I wouldn't have
Now." Wu Xia shook her head, "It's a pity that I was just about to repay him by bringing him to work for that noble man, but he begged me to death. Alas, at his old age, he still imitates others and goes out to fight for wealth and treasures.
It’s really…”
"Like a hanger-on?"
"Not even close."
"That's pretty good."
If you work as a retainer of a noble person in the capital, you will have a leisurely life on weekdays. There won't be so much fighting and killing. Food, clothing, and housing are usually good, and you will get a lot of money. It is a better destination for people in the world. Many people want to leave.
People in the world who settle down by fighting and killing can't find such a good home.
But this heroine is obviously not a retainer.
Song You didn't ask any more questions, just put all the thinly sliced mutton slices in the soup cake to the calico cat, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you still remember that swordsman at the Liujiang Conference?"
"Which one?"
Wu Nuxia looked up at him: "Shu Yifan?"
"right."
"Why don't you remember!"
Wu Nuxia lowered her head and blew, took a deep breath, and then said: "In the past year, he has become very famous in the world. Unless the news is too limited, everyone has heard of his name."
"I heard about it on the way here too."
"Who said that?"
"The charlatan at the tea stall, the storyteller."
"Is it said that he is the best swordsman in the world?"
"That's what the storyteller said."
"Storytellers like to arrange these things. It's actually not interesting. It wouldn't be surprising if one day the number one in the world is defeated by an unknown person." Wu Nuxia said, "But well, Shu Yifan was in the summons last year.
What the state did really shocked the entire world, and with such a reputation, it’s not surprising.”
"tell me the story."
"You don't eat meat?"
Only then did Wu Suowei realize that he had given all the meat to the calico cat.
"It doesn't matter."
"Hey……"
Wu Nuxia shook her head and ignored it, and continued: "This starts from a major event twenty years ago. I also heard it from someone. It was said that twenty years ago, there was a family named Fei who was imprisoned.
Lin Dehai of Hanjiangmen in Zhaozhou wiped out his family after drinking. It is rumored by outsiders that this kind of thing happens often in our world. In fact, it is very rare. We have only heard about it from stories. Moreover, if the government cannot handle this kind of tragedy, it will be difficult for the government to handle it well.
I won’t make it easy for you, so I shocked the whole world back then.”
"Then Shu Yifan's original surname is Fei?"
"How do you know? But that's right! Shu Yifan's original surname is Fei, and he is the only Miaomiao of the Fei family!"
Wu Nuxia temporarily put down her chopsticks: "The Hanjiang Sect is the largest Jianghu sect in Zhaozhou, and Lin Dehai is also the number one person in Zhaozhou. Back then, he used the cold iron ghost-headed sword to fight all over Dayan's Jianghu without a single defeat. Many people said
He is the best swordsman in the world. This man is very proud. He wiped out the entire Fei family back then, leaving only the son of the Fei family. He also asked him to practice martial arts and take revenge later. As a result, his family has grown up now. Twenty years later
I worked hard to develop a good swordsmanship, and I actually got it back."
She paused as she spoke:
"At the Liujiang Conference at that time, I originally wanted to compete with him. Firstly, I felt that I probably couldn't beat him and was afraid of losing face. Secondly, I felt that there was something wrong with this guy."
"what is the problem?"
"He specializes in people who use knives!"
"so……"
It was only then that Song You realized it.
That seemed to be the case at the time.
"Look -"
Wu Nuxia said: "When someone comes to my door, not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also well prepared."
"and after?"
"Later I heard that he took advantage of Lin Dehai's arrogance..." Wu Nuxia spoke with gusto, as if she was even more enthusiastic than when she first heard it, "The Hanjiang Sect is also considered a famous sect in Zhaozhou, but there are no good players under it.
One hundred is already eighty. Even if Shu Yifan is really the best swordsman in the world, it is impossible for him to pick off the entire Hanjiang Gate with one sword. But guess what he did? He directly wrote a letter and told Lin Dehai to come find him.
He is here, tell Lin Dehai to get ready."
"He dismissed his disciples?"
"It's almost like this." Wu Nuxia sighed, "Tsk tsk, I heard that that night was the same as last year's Waking of Insects, with lightning and thunder, and the lights of swords and swords were brighter than thunder."
"..."
Song You seemed to have a picture in his mind.
On a cold rainy night, there was lightning and thunder.
Han Tie Guitou Dao, the number one man in Zhaozhou, who wiped out an entire family but left a boy to seek revenge, probably felt that he was invincible in the world, obsessed with martial arts, and full of pride.
The young swordsman has a blood feud. He has practiced hard for many years and is fully prepared. He has overwhelming courage and strong sword skills. He can kill even monsters with his sword.
If Jianghu also has a history book, this battle should be recorded in Jianghu's history books.
"and after?"
"Don't you already know this?"
Wu Nuxia had already picked up the bowl: "But there is also a son in Lin Dehai's family who was born to a woman outside. The year before last, he brought that woman back and took another concubine. Apart from the servants, there are almost
One wife, one concubine, and one son. He probably never thought that he would lose, nor did he send them away..."
At this point she paused.
The bowl clinked with the chopsticks, and almost all the bowl of soup cakes went into his stomach. Then he said:
"What do you think Shu Yifan did?"
"Would you like another bowl?"
"good!"
So I ordered another bowl for her, again with meat.
"Everyone thought that he was going to treat others with their own medicine, but it was actually not much different... He also left Lin Dehai's son behind, told him his name, and asked him to practice martial arts well.
When I grow up, I can avenge him for killing his father." Wu Nuxia said with a smile, "This man is also proud, no wonder the storyteller praised him so highly. But he did not kill Lin Dehai's female family members."
"That's it..."
"Do you think I can tell stories better than those storytellers?"
"yes……"
"As a Taoist, you also like to hear this?"
"You can also taste some Jianghu atmosphere."
"How can there be any quackery? Aren't we all a bunch of bitter people? Who is willing to do such a thing if they want to have a better meal? Except those with sick minds."
Wu Nuxia shook her head and concentrated on eating the soup cake.
Song You also lowered his head to eat, with half of the bowl left.
This mutton soup cake is also wide, but unlike the soup cakes in Nanhua that are almost two or three fingers wide, this one is only about one finger wide and thinner than the soup cakes in Nanhua. It is made from stretched lamb bones.
The soup base is topped with coriander, chopped green onions and a few slices of thinly sliced mutton. It is quite flavorful. If you taste it carefully, you can taste a little spice from the soup base.
By the way, this is Xicheng.
